Terrorist Attacks in London

Posted on July 7, 2005

i just woke up and read about the terrorist attacks in london.
no matter how you look at it, terrorists are scum.
anyone who is willing to intentionally injure and wound innocent people is scum.
one jihadist website referred to the attacks as 'blessed'.
i may not be an islamic scholar, but i do know that the q'uran specifically prohibits the killing of innocent people(â€œ...we decreed that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. and anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. ...â€? [quran 5:32])
and the people who were killed and hurt in these attacks were certainly innocent, decent, normal people going about their daily lives and not hurting anyone.
why can't the islamic leaders of the world step up and say, 'the q'uran specifically prohibits the harming and killing of innocent people.'?
as a new yorker who understands what it is to experience first hand the slaughter of innocents at the hands of terrorists, i would like to say to the people of london and the uk that i'm deeply sorry for your loss and your pain.
